Banteay Srei

Banteay Srei
Bike Trip with California Field School, 2023 During spring break of 2023, CFS homies took us on an EPIC bike tour. Five nights, one state park, and an island where we kayaked, shared tons of laughter, healed our minds and bodies, and enjoyed amazing food made by our beloved sista, Amy.
A film created by LJ Canonizado. Featuring Program Manager Hamida Yusufzai, Lily MacMillan Community Health Advocate, and the amazing Youth of Banteay Srei.
Srei is a film made to honor the experiences of the women of Banteay Srei, an organization out of Oakland Chinatown's Asian Health Services which was founded to provide holistic and culturally informed care to Southeast Asian women and girls in the community who were experiencing or at-risk of sexual exploitation. This film explores the unique experiences of young women of color in the Bay Area--chosen family and sisterhood; the ways Asian women are forced to grow up too fast; migration; self love and acceptance; and healing from personal and generational trauma. Srei is a love letter to our community, to our sistas, to Oakland, and to Chinatown. This project would not be possible without the support of the sistas of Banteay Srei--Hamida, Lily, Ellie, Shanelle, Kaliyah, Pei Yi, and many more. This film also received support from the 2023 Margo Okazawa Rey Fellowship. Daisy Okazaki ©2023
